The Koleman Thompson Podcast

In this episode my Bishop, Ed Rowe, interviews me. It was a great experience. I hope that my testimony can strengthen yours. Please listen all the way through. This is most likely the last episode for 2 years so I just really hope the you know how much I love you all and how much I desire for you to come unto the Savior and develop a testimony for yourself. The Gospel is true. I believe it with my...

Welcome my final podcast episode before starting the MTC bright and early tomorrow. This is with my beautiful, caring, compassionate, and overall incredibly Christ-like mother, Carly Thompson. She (and Heavenly Father of course) is the reason this Podcast exists. I am so grateful for her willingness to listen to me and tell me that she doesn’t know a lot of things so that we could grow together. S...

The last of my 3 sisters for me to interview was Caprice Thompson. She goes by Reese, and she is 13 (almost 14) years old. She very well may possibly know more about the Restoration and The Book Of Mormon than I do, and I was honestly in awe at how she displayed her knowledge in this conversation. She said thing after thing that I had not previously realized and I am so grateful for the chance to...

Twin #2. Baby B. Lola Thompson. I hope you enjoy this quick little episode :) I’ve loved having Lola as my sister for most of my life and I think she is such a happy person and great to be around. She is great at drawing and making people laugh and she is super kind. I can’t wait to see who she eventually becomes through Heavenly Father’s plan. Enjoy!

At last, I finally got to interview one of my sisters. This is Lily Thompson and she is the older (by 2 minutes) of my 10-year old twin sisters. She is amazing. I love her thirst for knowledge and trying to understand things for herself. She is also great at editing videos and making funny and cool things. I’m so grateful for her. I hope you enjoy!

This episode is with one of my great friends William Song. This is not your typical podcast episode so buckle down and enjoy the ride. After we talk for a little bit about the value of conversation he basically gives me a therapy session and asks me tons of questions to figure out lots of things such as what is behind a lot of my motivations in life. I’ve been friends with William for probably 10...

Welcome to what was going to be part 1 of 2 in a “Best Of” series. Unfortunately I ran out of time before my mission to do part two. I really hope you enjoy this though. In this episode I play clips of some of what I believe to be the most impactful moments from my first 15 podcast interview. Please enjoy and listen to the spirit. This episode features Micah Shattuck (Ep 5), Nicole Holden (Ep 6),...

Remington is such a great guy. Not because he plays the organ or because he’s 6’4” or because he was Student Body President, but because he loves helping others and is amazing at it. I first got to know him because he was trying to be a friend to everyone during junior year and I have had so many chances to talk and joke with him throughout since then. He really shows the light of Christ and will...

Sebastián has been an absolutely incredible friend of mine over the past 3 and a half years that I’ve known him. He is funny, understanding, super nice, and has a firm testimony of the gospel. It has been an honor to know him. I say this in sort of a parting tone just cause I know that soon I won’t see him for over 2 years. I love him and can’t wait to do a post-mission podcast 😁 He is not a man...

Mary is a friend of mine who I have been very blessed to receive the opportunity to get to know this year. She is such a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ and I am so grateful for her example and willingness to be so open. She is actually of the Catholic faith, but I think this podcast episode can be a sincere reminder of how many genuine followers of Christ there are in so many faiths. I loved ou...

Lincoln’s testimony is so powerful, and he continually has strengthened my testimony of God’s love for all of us and the...

This was recorded at a Young Men’s fireside of my ward on May 2, 2021. We held this fireside so that the graduating Young Men of our ward would have a chance to share their thoughts and testimonies to all of the younger boys. I honestly thought it was incredible and the spirit was so strong. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to grow up with these young men and I can’t wait to see wha...

Service is what will bring joy to your life. There is no way around it. I testify that finding your personal way to serve others the best you can, with a faithful mindset, the Lord will unlock those blessing of service to you, and you will have more joy than you thought possible. I leave on my mission soon and I want to help people the best I can. I will do my best with all the resources I have. P...

Aiden Carlson is a new member of my Priest Quorum... and boy is his testimony strong. His desire to find truth has led him to fully embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ in which he has been raised. He reminds me a lot of me, but he is more brave and willing to stand up and stand out for the way he lives his faith. This is my 7th Priest Quorum Podcast, and it was amazing. I felt prompted to ask Aiden...

Jeewarshav Adhikari (he goes by Jeev) is a super good friend of mine who just turned 18 a week ago. He moved to the United States from Nepal about 2 and a half years ago, he’s pretty cool if I do say so myself. He is so funny and loves talking about Nepal, the gospel, and honestly anything 😂 I’ve been excited to get him on the podcast and he did not disappoint. We talked about the joy that comes...

Thinking back on this conversation I just love all the little things tha...

Welcome to the first ever episode with a direct member of my family. Layne Thompson is my dad and he is an amazing human with an amazing testimony. Having this conversation with him was a huge testimony builder for me... I realized I need to truly appreciate his experiences and not play them off because I have already heard most of them. I learned so much and I love and am so grateful for his know...

I love Syd’s testimony and I honestly learned a lot from this interview that I desperately need to work on applying in my life. Some topic...
